Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (Toshiba) announces its next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), targeting the latest requirements in the surveillance storage market.
With capacities up to 10TB and double the buffer size, the upgraded HDDs with conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology enable surveillance system integrators, system installation providers, and end users to record, store and analyse their video streams from up to 64 high-definition (HD) cameras.
S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs
The highly scalable, 3.5-inch S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs, with capacity options of 4TB, 6TB, 8TB, and 10TB, support up to 24 bays, making them an excellent fit for large-scale video recording systems, delivering reliable operation even in the most demanding environments.
Additionally, compared to the previous generation, the new S300 Pro provides a higher maximum sustained transfer speed of 268MiB/s and doubles the cache buffer size to 512MiB. The S300 Pro HDDs also reduce power consumption, delivering improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
Key upgrades
The next-generation S300 Pro’s extended warranty period, from 3 to 5 years, demonstrates Toshiba’s durability
With 24/7 operation, an enhanced annual workload of 300TB, and a mean time to failure (MTTF) of up to 1.2 million hours, the S300 Pro can handle the increasing video analysis demands of mission-critical surveillance footage.
The next-generation S300 Pro’s extended warranty period, from 3 to 5 years, demonstrates Toshiba’s high durability and engineering quality of its HDDs.
Performance, durability, and 24/7 reliability
